Here’s a tip for Bill O’Reilly: Before going on a crusade against “happy holidays,” you should find out if you’ve already left a flaming trail of blasphemy.
From the O’Reilly Factor on November 5, 2003 appropriately under “The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day”:
The Christmas/Hanukkah/Holiday Store is inclusive and it’s on billoreilly.com.
Well, Bill finally learned the error of his ways and decided to screw that inclusive crap. It’s now the O’Reilly Christmas Store. While you’re at the Christmas Store, check out under “BILL’S SPECIAL DEAL” where it says that the “Spin Stops Here Tin filled with Soft Mint Puffs” is great for anyone on your “holiday gift list.” If I’m shopping at your Christmas store, Bill, why the hell would I have a holiday gift list?
Many more examples below the fold.
Continuing on Bill’s trail of blasphemy, we also find four anti-Jesus references on this single page:
- A Holiday Message from Bill
- Re: Happy Holidays
- When you visit our Christmas/Chanukah Store…
- I have plenty to be thankful for this holiday season…
Here’s another tip for Bill: If you’re going to start ranting about the war on Christmas and start purging the word “holiday” from your website, you could at the very least not do it like a lazy, half-assed idiot. I’m sure there are more examples than the ones listed here, and if you find them, list them in the comments below so that Bill can fix them and finally purge the devil from within himself.
On Bill O’Reilly’s multiple choice quiz:
5. Conservative author and columnist Ann Coulter was booed, heckled, and shouted down last week when she tried to give a speech at which venue?
with one of the choices being
New York Times <strike>Christmas</strike> holiday party
Great joke, Bill. That was so funny, I almost threw up laughing. But didn’t you know about your own employer’s HOLIDAY party? Maybe Bill didn’t get an invitation since they knew he would never attend an anti-Jesus holiday party.
At Bill O’Reilly’s website, click on “Christmas Shipping Guide” at the top of the right-hand column. Underneath the wreath and logo in the very upper-left, you see HOLIDAY Shipping Information. Also, “Holiday Shipping Information” should also appear at the very top of your browser window in the bar that contains the maximize and minimize buttons. Check out the URL which also has holiday in it: http://www.billoreilly.com/pg/jsp/help/general/holidayshippinginformation.jsp.
As kos pointed out, under “About Bill” at Bill O’Reilly’s website, it used to say “Recommended Holiday Gifts” but was changed to “Recommended Christmas Gifts” soon after. But if you click on it, you again see Recommended HOLIDAY Gifts underneath the wreath and logo in the very upper-left as well as at the very top of your browser window. Oh, and thanks for the recommendations, Bill. How will I ever choose a gift amongst the myriad of choices? Wow! A teddy bear or a massage cushion! Thanks, Bill.
A few items from the O’Reilly Christmas Store:
Spin Stops Here! Collector’s Pack
The Autographed Bill O’Reilly Library Pack
Sorry, no substitutions can be made in these specially priced holiday gift packs.
Spin Stops Here Fleece Blanket
Makes the perfect gift for all the sports & Factor fan on your holiday shopping list.
From the O’Reilly Blog right under where he lists companies that are using “holiday season” instead of “Christmas season”:
Here’s a list of great books for the winter holiday season.
Let’s not forget the initial discovery of the “O’Reilly holiday ornament” for the “holiday tree.”

So, how are you fixed for cash this holiday season?
…And so it is the holiday season and the tax geese are getting fat.
Perhaps Bill O’Reilly can finally use this list as a guide to really starting to purge the evil from his past and present. And we can all stop wasting our time discussing this stupid, inane crap.
